Summer Update for Krueger

Saturday, August 28th, 2010

Yep, haven’t posted in a long time. We’ve had steady sales–a lot of second-home buyers and some military folks too stationed at nearby NAS Whidbey Island.

Summer has been great on Whidbey. It’s a lovely 65 degrees right now, sunny and all the mountains are out. Missed the farmer’s market–busy working on revisions–but enjoyed a nice walk today. Did you know the walking trails around town go all the way out along Parker Road? You can really go for a long walk in every direction.

Tonight’s the Pleine Air Gala Event. It’s been fun seeing all the painters around Ebey’s Landing with their easels.

Also, we had a great dinner last night at the new Front Street Grill on, you guessed it, Front Street. Right on the water, the beautiful craftsmanship will wow you (owner Dan Miranda is also a custom home builder). The food was awesome too. I had a filet mignon and it was no less than spectacular. Would it be so wrong to eat that every day? Women need iron, right? :)

3 Corner Units Left

Sunday, October 4th, 2009

Only three corner units left at Krueger Commons.

While I was meeting the local Sears rep for our latest second home buyer appliance delivery, another couple drove up to take a look. Once they toured #206, (the blue one on Wilkes with the patio surround of California lilac bushes and all bedrooms viewing the woods) and the waterview unit, #214, the husband said, “Honey, get the checkbook.” The view from all the bedrooms of the waterview is breathtakingly beautiful, the madrone trees, the light shining in from the protected forest, the water sparkling downhill in Penn Cove.

Time is running out. The first-time home buyer credit expires on November 30th–as in your loan or sale has to be closed by then. Banks are taking about one month for processing, so if you’re going to snatch up the free $8000, better hurry. Prices are their best now.

I’ve got another appointment on Thursday scheduled with a military officer. 3 Corner Units left, only 2 Interior.

Only 4 Corner Units Left

Thursday, August 27th, 2009

Attention anybody who has been sitting on the fence…

Only four corner units are left at Krueger Commons, and a few of them are some of my favorites! Yes, the waterview is still available. With amazing views from each bedroom of the protected forest or of Penn Cove. Unit #208 is left too, with great views of the forest from the front rooms and of the protected forest from the back bedrooms. Don’t forget #106. It has a great sunny patio surrounded by a hedge California lilacs, views of the protected forest from the back bedrooms and a nice view of the meadow and forested open space from the master.

There are only a few interior units too. Every unit has a different feel, both inside and out, so don’t rush as you pick out your favorite.

Don’t delay. We’ll be having a September homeowner’s party soon. We’d love to have you there.

Weekend fun

Sunday, July 5th, 2009

What did I do over the holiday weekend with visiting company:

  1. Went for a hike from the cemetery parking area to Ebey’s Landing. Checked out the blockhouse, hiked along the ridge, then enjoyed the view from the top of the Landing. Hiked on down with the kiddos, saying hello to a fellow flying his model airplane then drove into Coupeville to enjoy another delicious lunch at Mosquito Fleet Chili on Front Street. Yum. My cousin explored the waterfront with the kids while I showed the condos. They stopped by the library to sign the kids up for the free summer reading program before walking up to meet me. Grilled and made s’mores.
  2. Went bike riding on the Kettles Trail from Fort Ebey State Park into Coupeville. Had a great lunch at Miriam’s Espresso. Rode the bikes on the highway overpass to Krueger Commons (waving at the cars on Hwy. 20) and met the newest homeowner at the condos. Biked home, jumped in the car and parked at the Keystone ferry landing. The weather was perfect for the crossing to Port Townsend. Did a bit of window shopping and enjoyed great sushi at Ichikawa.
  3. Went to the Farmer’s Market and picked up raspberries which we rapidly consumed. Should have bought a flat! The Youderians and the Mile Post 19 farms near OLF both have raspberries now. Said hello to friends and bought some freshly picked veggies. Enjoyed the fireworks display in Oak Harbor–although it seemed a bit late when they started. Whew!

A few reasons why Coupeville is neat if you have kids

Saturday, May 30th, 2009

1. The glassblowing demo for the students and parents at Coupeville Elementary School. The art teacher did a fabulous job displaying the kids Native American artwork. Last year, a raku potter did a demo, a master kite builder from Kyoto, Japan, taught kitebuilding, and Japanese musical instruments were played. This is cool.

2. I was able to enjoy the beautiful weather and walk the kids from school to the hand specialist doctor. We didn’t sweat, we didn’t get run over and it was a lovely, short walk, enjoying the view downhill of Penn Cove.

3. The town encourages reading. The school hosted literacy night. The library regularly hosts early release programs with musicians, puppeteers and more, for free. The book fair gave away free breakfast items to shoppers.

4. The Farmer’s Market. Fun for kids and parents. The kids run willy-nilly within the circle of tents while the parents chat and shop. And it’s within “whining distance” of Krueger Commons.

5. Cool walking field trips. The kindergarten class walked downhill–and it’s a bit of a hike–to the wharf. They explored the beach at low tide. In the Preschool Co-Op, the fire deparment usually gives the kids a ride back to the school. The classes walk over to the pumpkin patch too.

6. The community. Since it’s a small town, after a bit, you know people by name or face. Parents stand around to pick up kids and chat. Parents pick up kids by bicycle. People keep an eye on the kids as they walk home from school. There’s a lot of waving going on.

7. Parades and fun. I didn’t post about the parade, because I was so sick. But the Memorial Day parade is always a treat, one of many fun events. The Whidbey Cruzers classic car club proudly drives our retired veterans and active military folks, marching bands play, horses trot by and everyone ends up a the Town Park for free burgers and ice cream. The Halloween parade is fun too–everyone dresses up and marches in it.

There are a bunch more reasons. In fact, the upcoming June 27-28th Wharf Fest is one…besides a boat parade, “Pirates are needed for the upcoming festival event. If you have a costume and can act like a pirate, please contact the organizers.”

Now, what kid wouldn’t love living in a town like that? Aarrggh.
